Abstract: The study proposes an approach to support students ' debugging exercise named scaffolding online peer assessment built upon the scaffolding theory. The scaffolding mechanism in this approach includes two aspects. One is that the system provides error tips to aid students in finding errors in their assignments. The other mechanism is the peer’s comment itself which is viewed as a kind of scaffolding. To explore the value of this approach, a scaffolding online peer assessment system is developed. The study proposes a way to implement computer-assisted scaffolding in online peer assessment. It can likewise provide guidelines for other educators to engage in a similar endeavor.
